- According to the reports, the August 11 update of Windows 11 introduced a SSD rupture error
- It has been suggested that SSDs that use physnaments are more likely to be affected
- Phison has performed extensive tests, but he could not reproduce the error once, and added that his clients did not report the fault either.
According to the reports, the error that arose recently in Windows 11, which is breaking some SSD, is being investigated by Microsoft and its partners, and now we have heard from one of the parties involved.
This is Phison, which manufactures SSD controllers used in a wide range of units of several manufacturers, and is involved in this controversy because some reports suggest that the SSDs used by these controllers were more likely to be affected by the error.
Phison has now shared the results of his extensive tests related to this matter, as Newin reports, issuing the following statement: “Phison dedicated more than 4,500 hours of cumulative test to the units informed as potentially affected and made more than 2,200 test cycles. We could not the informed problem, and no partner or clients have reported that the problem affected their units at this time.”
So, Phison feels that it is clear, with many evidence not to have caused anything, and there are also no reports that reach the company directly from their customers. Of course, the reports of individual consumers will go directly to the SSD manufacturer (not those responsible for the controller), but when Phison says “partners or customers”, he is talking about those impulse manufacturers (and others also, without a doubt, including Microsoft).
What has not helped the cause of Phison here is a false document that made the rounds online just after the error came to light in the August update of Windows 11. This meant containing a list of phison controllers affected, but it was completely manufactured as the company quickly made it clear.
Analysis: Microsoft’s findings are yet to come
Although Phison has performed extensive tests, this cannot be considered as a definitive conclusion. Microsoft’s investigation into this SSD rupture error in Windows 11 is still being carried out, and until we see the result of that, there are still doubts exactly what is happening here.
SSD fault reports still remain scattered. Therefore, it should be taken into account that this seems to be a rare problem. In any case, I hope Microsoft will make your findings known sooner rather than later, and clarify this matter, since it only becomes more confusing with this latest installment of the saga.
Phison also obtained some tips with his statement on the best practices to “admit high -performance storage devices” that are subjected to extended work loads, such as changing large files, such as prolonged writing operations that apparently triggered Windows 11. Phison error observes that an “suitable thermal dissipator or a thermal pad” will help in terms of maintaining optimal temperatures and guaranteeing that the unit does not heat up too much (or the accelerators as a result).
Keep in mind that imparting this advice is not directly related to the error, which means that Phison does not say that he should use a thermal dissipator to avoid getting out of the rails with this Windows 11 failure. This is only a general advice addressed to all high -end SSD owners, making them know that if they execute intense workloads during long durations, it is recommended to use additional cooling.
Of course, if your SSD no longer has a thermal dissipator, adding one is a somewhat complicated matter, especially for the least technology experts (although it is less likely to execute a solid high -performance unit unit, certainly).
